Michael was a graduate of Woodlands High School in Hartsdale, NY, and was a member of Knights of Columbus #1106 in Goshen, GIS After School Program Slot Car Club, and Relay for Life in Rhinebeck. Michael was a loving, caring, and kind person. He was a devoted husband and best friend to the love of his life Paula. He was a proud father who cherished his daughter, Samantha. Michael was loved by his family who took every opportunity to spend time with him which he thoroughly enjoyed. Family was important to him. His best friends were friends for life. Michael always had a great story or joke. He would carry on a conversation with a perfect stranger to make them feel welcome and make a new friend! He was a giving member of the community volunteering to help wherever he was needed and whomever needed him.
